[3.1] Ice Shot Scion (Assassin/Elementalist)

Intro & build description

Ice Shot with Omen on the Winds threshold jewels makes this build very fluid and satisfying to play, not to mention whole screen and screen behind is frozen/chilled which makes it very safe to play as well. If you enjoy fast paced action with ranger, you must give this build a shot.

1h Weapon

Offhand weapon / shield

Build uniques / Example rare gear

Helmet

Any rare helmet with high life and elemental resistances works great till you can afford Rat’s nest. If you are dealing enough damage and want to play it safer, Starkonja’s Head unique helmet is great alternative, it’s cheaper too and gives decent amount of life.

Boots

Left Ring

Reflect immunity, although they are reworking reflect mechanic in 3.1, it still makes you able to run elemental reflect maps which saves you money by not rerolling them. Feel free using any rare or unique ring you feel like if reflect is something you don’t care for.

2Hand Weapon

Quiver

Critical strike chance, global critical strike multiplier, life, elemental damage with attacks and attack speed if possible. These are all the damage stats you can get to boost your damage insanely high, although it might cost a lot. Buy one that fits your budget. Spike-Point arrow quiver is the best base.

If you got a second bow for this build and used it for barrage, what would you user for the 6 links and would that solve the single target dps? Is there any dps estimate to know if that would be shaper / elder viable?
